  Queen's Privy Council for Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Queen's Privy Council for Canada (French: Conseil privé de la Reine pour le Canada) is the ceremonial council of advisers to the Queen of Canada, whose members are appointed by the Governor General of Canada for life on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Their actions are supported by the Privy Council Office which is headed by the Clerk of the Privy Council as chief civil servant and the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada as the Cabinet minister in charge.
Among the ceremonial duties of the Privy Council is the proclamation of the new Sovereign following a demise of the Crown.

 Privy Council Office
The Privy Council Office (PCO) is a prime minister's government department headed by the clerk designated (since 1940) secretary to the CABINET.
In fact no specific statutory basis for most of its functions exists; the bulk of its activities are conducted pursuant to the unwritten, conventional authority of the PRIME MINISTER and the Cabinet.
Although the PCO has its own minister (President of the Privy Council), it can be said that the PCO is the prime minister's administrative agency for dealing with the collective concerns as head of government.

Although Transport Canada has processed four times more fingerprint files per month since the introduction of LiveScan, this is due not so much to the introduction of LiveScan as to additional RCMP personnel funded by Transport Canada and assigned to clearances for access to restricted areas at airports.
Currently, Transport Canada is of the opinion that it is bound by the Aeronautics Act, which restricts the scope of the regulations to "preventing unlawful interference with civil aviation" (ss 4.7(2)).
